Why is it so hard to like Asami

I am not trying to be rude but I have a hard time to like Asami. Somehow I think that she is a boyfriend stealer and please don't say that Korra kised Mako first when they were dating. Mako enjoyed it and you know it. Just every time I see her I see a too emotional girl that in 4 season wants to forgive his father for wanting to destroy Republic City. Sorry bakes2389 if this is too offensive to you. I didn't mean to insult anyone. She irritates me with her praising about that she is not a fragile girl. We know that.
Thank you zanhar1. She helped me for my first article. If it wasn't her I would be cursing all around here.

That's totally fine that you don't like Asami..... it's your opinion and you are free to have it. I am in no way, shape, or form offended by this article, or your opinion. :)
I wouldn't call Asami a "boy stealer," considering she isn't the one who stole Mako in Book 1. That was actually Korra, if we do look at that God-awful episode...... Mako did enjoy it because he's a huge dick that likes way too many girls and plays them for his own gain. And in Book 2, Asami, in a vulnerable state I might add, kissed Mako when he was SINGLE..... which is a huge difference from Book 1. But Mako also enjoyed that as he willingly ran back to Asami. The more I analyze these two couples.....Mako is a huge douchenozzle.
I will say that I'm with you though with not caring for Asami in these later books. I adore Asami's character and I like that she isn't this delicate flower. I think that's why she keeps saying that she isn't fragile..... mainly because everyone kind of assumes that she's just this girl in a skirt and she can't do anything for herself. That opinion is slightly changing..... but she still has that "non bender" status so people in the Krew deem her as useless. Look at each book..... they kind of dismiss her because her glove doesn't shoot at a far range, or she can go be transportation and leave when she isn't needed anymore. It's so ridiculous the way Bryke has written her. But I'm totally with you though on the Asami forgiving her father thing..... I'm totally against that and I hate how Asami just forgives everyone who shits on her so easily, and that includes Mako and Korra too. She never stands up for herself and she always acts like she's in the wrong, when she isn't.

Well Asami can't steal someone who is hers. Asami was dating Mako and Korra did kiss him while he was with Asami. Yeah he enjoyed it, but that doesn't take from the fact that Korra kissed Mako while he was with someone else.
That said I place more blame on Mako for going with it and not pushing Korra away and telling her hew was taken. That's why I don't ship Makorra or Masami anymore. They deserve someone who won't cheat on them.

As for the fragile thing; she only bought that up twice really. Whereas if you look at Katara she bought up the 'this necklace was my mother's' thing all the the time. Asami also brings it up when people tell her she can't come with them because she's a non-bender. It seems like some of the characters do need the reminder.

I guess I can understand the whole emotional thing. Sato is more emotional than the other characters and to be honest usually I don't like her type of character for that reason. There's just something about her that I like. However I do respect her willingness to forgive her father, that's something downright deep.

Anyhow thanks for being respectful about your opinions in this article and not making it all out hateful. And No problem.
